Solitaire Rules

  • For this game you need a standard 52-card deck. Shuffle the deck and then take ten cards and place them in a pile to the left of the table. This is your "Reserve".

  • Take the next 4 cards from the deck and place them face up in a horizontal line, one next to the other. This is the "Tableau".

  • Finally take one more card from the pack and place it above the "Tableau". This will be the "base card" and foundation which will be built up, following suit, from the base card until each foundation has 13 cards.

  • Available cards on the "Tableau" or the "Reserve", and of the same rank as the "base card", can be used to establish the other 3 foundations.

  • On the "Tableau", you can build down in alternating colors.

  • Entire sequences of cards can be moved from one pile to another.

  • If an empty space is created, it is filled with: a card from the reserve, a card from the waste pile or a card from another pile if the reserve and the waste piles are empty.

  • If there are no more possible moves, deal cards from the "Reserve" to the waste pile in groups of three. These cards can be played to the foundations or to the "Tableau"

  • Cards from the "Reserve" can be played directly to the foundations or to the "Tableau" piles as necessary.

  • When you've exhausted the deck, shuffle and redeal three cards at a time to the waste pile. You can do this unlimited times.
